Exhibition Award

The InForMed project, led by Ronald Dekkers of Philips, received recognition as the best project presented at the event.

Present ultrasound systems use traditional piezoceramics. However, micro-fabricated alternatives are reaching maturity. These Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers (CMUTs) are cheaper to fabricate, and allow for the miniaturization required to make ultrasound imaging catheters smaller, and still enabling high-quality images. Pan-European iniatives, such as ECSEL's INCITE and InForMed projects, form an essential contribution to these advances.
